T0 at .whmn it may con/007w:

Be it known that we, J EPTIIA L. J OIINSON and THOMAS REYNOLDS, residents of Nicholasville, in the county of Jessamine and 1 State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating- 1 Stoves; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description 1 of the invention, such as will enable others i skilled in the art to which it appcrtains to make and use the same.

Our invention relates to improvements in 1 being to provide an improved heater that will burn any kind of coal and throw out the maximum of heat at the base of the stove where it is most effective; and the invention consists 1 in certain novel features of constructionand combinations and arrangements of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.

The accompanying drawing is a view in vertical section, illustrating our improvements. 1

1 represents the stove-body, preferably cylindrical, having the door 1.

2 is the base, preferably rectangular and 1 supported on feet 3, and 4 represents the i stove-top, having a feed chute or spout 5 in its center normally closed by an ornamental swinging cover 6.

The stove-body 1 and base 2 are contracted at their juncture and have a ring 7 between them, and a shaking-grate 8 is located 1 below the ring 7 and operated by a crank shaft or rod 9.

In the lower contracted portion of the body 1 a conical bowl or fire-pot 10 is mounted, preferably on ball-bearings and provided with a grate 11 at its lower end. This bowl is provided w th a lug 11", located opposite a door 12 in the body to permit the entrance and operation of a shaker to turn the bowl and dislodge clinkers and other accumulation which may clog the bowl.

An ash-pan 13 is provided in the base or ash-pit 2, which pan can be removed and replaced through a suitable draft-door 1 1.

In body 1 aninner tube or fluel 5 is provided, extending longitudinally of the body from a point a few inches from the fire-pot to near the top of the body and located at the center of the body. The lower end of this tube 15 is open to receive the smoke and gases .from the lire-pot, and the upper end is closed by a con 1 real dellector 15*, which distributes the coal entering through chute 5 all around the tube or 'llue. The tube or llue 15 forms a T about 1 the center of the body, one member 16 extending to the wall of the body and provided with a check-draft door 15 and the other member 16 pro ecting through the body for the attachment of the smoke-pipe 18, and a damper 19 preferably provided in this branch pipe 16.

The operation of our improvements is as follows: The coal entering chute 5 evenly distributes itself arouml. the tube 15 and feeds to the lire-pot as it is consumed, the smoke and gases passing up tube 15 and out the smoke-pipe. By this means the maxi mum heat is thrown out at the lower end of the stoy c near the lloor, where it is most necessary. The lire-pot or bowl 10 can be shaken to dislodge clogging material, and as its shape leaves an air-space all around the bowl renders the bowl practically indestructible.

A great many slight changes might be made in the general form and arrangement of the parts described without departing from 3 our invention, and hence we would have it understood that we do not restrict ourselves to the precise details set forth, but consider ourselves at liberty to make such slight, changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of our invention.

1 laving fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination with a stove-body, of a central flue therein having comnnmication with the smoke-pipe, and terminating at its lower end above the lire-pot, the upper end of said llue terminatii'ig near the stove-top a deflector on top of the flue, and a fuel-entrance in the stove-top above the deflector.

2. The combination with a stove-body having a fire-pot in its lower end and a fuelentrance opening in its upper end, of a central line in the body open at its lower end. and extending from a point above the lire-pot and terminating at its upper end near the top of the body, a dellector on the top of the .lluc to distribute fuel all around the flue, and a smoke-pipe communicating with said llue.

3. T he combination with a stove-body having a fire-pot in its lower end and a fuelsmoke and gases to the smoke-pipe, and a inlet in its top, of a central flue in the body damper in said last-mentioned branch flue.
